gxx is merely a frontend for 'gcc -lstdcxx' or 'fire up gcc, and tell
the linker to link with libstdcxx.a in the /lib directory.'
gcc is merely a frontend for the programs that ACTUALLY do the
compiling, like cc1.exe, gas.exe, ld.exe, etc...

In your djdir/share/rhide directory, there should be a file called
rhide_.env.

Change it's name to rhide.env, and add these three lines to the bottom
exactly with NO trailing Spaces

RHIDE_TYPED_LIBS_DJGPP.cc=stdcxx
RHIDE_TYPED_LIBS_DJGPP.cpp=stdcxx
RHIDE_TYPED_LIBS_DJGPP.cxx=stdcxx

Hey, Eli!  The Faq only says to add the first line: Maybe all three
should be in there.
